Crows are among the most intelligent of birds. Experiments indicate that American crows can count to three or four, are good at solving puzzles, have good memories, employ a diverse and behaviorally complex range of vocalizations, and quickly learn to associate various noises and symbols with food. One report describes an American crow that dropped palm nuts onto a residential street, then waited for passing automobiles to crack them. Crows are keen and wary birds. Consider the number of crows that scavenge along highways; how many have you seen hit by autos? Crows can mimic sounds made by other birds and animals and have been taught to mimic the human voice. The myth that splitting the tongue allows a crow to talk better, however, is not true and is needlessly cruel.
Crows often post a sentinel while feeding. Although studies indicate that the sentinel may be part of a family group, unrelated crows and other birds in the area likely benefit from the sentinel’s presence.
The American crow is one of America’s best-known birds. Males and females are outwardly alike. Their large size (17 to 21 inches [43 to 53 cm] long), completely coal-black plumage, and familiar “caw caw” sound make them easy to identify. They are fairly common in areas near people, and tales of their wit and intelligence have been noted in many stories.
Three other crows occur in the continental United States, the fish crow (Corvus ossifragus), the northwestern crow (Corvus caurinus), and the Mexican crow (Corvus imparatus). Fish crows are primarily inhabitants of the eastern and southeastern coastal United States, but their range extends into the eastern edges of Oklahoma and Texas. Fish crows are somewhat smaller than American crows, but in the field they appear much alike. They can be distinguished, however, by their calls — the fish crow call is a short, nasal “ca,” “car,” or “ca-ha.” Northwestern crows, as their name implies, occur in the northwest along the coastal strip from Washington to Alaska. They are most often seen foraging along beaches. Northwestern crows are smaller than American crows, but in Washington state these two species may hybridize. Mexican crows occur in south Texas (Brownsville area) primarily during fall and winter and are fairly small for crows. Their voice is a low froglike “gurr” or “croak” or, in some areas, a higher-pitched “creow.”
This may be a Fish Crow. He or she is not as big as most of the crows I see. It was cawing up a storm and the caw sounded more of a deep almost bass sound to it. Found it along Joe Overstreet Road, Osceola County, Florida.

It's spring in this house. I'm excited and happy that warmth and silly summer playfulness is finally nearly here.
Sunday isn't my favourite day of the week, it's been like that for as long as I can remember. There's something so dreary and depressing about it. Taking myself out and capturing pictures is my way of turning that negative feeling into a positive one. Good therapy session right there!

Found this fruit seller a few days ago when I was returning from Chittagong after a wrecked up vacation. Smoking and waiting outside of the bus terminal, I was in a complete disappointment and was trying hard to fight with my anger. Reason behind all these distress seemed unavoidable and insoluble. Whatever…
Looking at him I was thinking absent minded - what the hell is he doing? Counting those grapes one by one? One...Two...Three....Ten...Twenty... and writing it on that book?
Grape - 1300
Orange - 150
Apple - 200 ….
Ha ha ha …
Dampara, Chittagong
One that got away. Happy Thanksgiving to my U.S. friends, and to all, enjoy your day. Wild Turkey, San Luis Obispo County, California.
Twenty Five Days Until We Celebrate 50 Years of Marriage. Thank you, Darling, Gerry! I love you!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
We had 8 in the garden this afternoon. Light was poor and the camera focussed on the the left hand one looking at the centre one.
You can see 4 but there is a 5thbelow and to the right of the centre one. Can just see a bit of its back.
Fish check in progress ... I think I have that same look when staring at a bowl of hot apple pie and ice cream :)
(High Quality) version.. sorry that I am re-uploading a few of the pictures I had already uploaded.. but they had poor quality because of internet connection
Getting this shot made me feel as eerie as it looks. It was a cold foggy morning on the outskirts of Wichita, Kansas. All of the crows in this picture are real, no Photoshoping. However, I did use a couple of textures from Skeletalmess, for which I am grateful.

I was sitting at the table, waiting for dinner to finish baking, next thing I know, Count is sitting in Lindsey's chair staring at me. He had already been fed, but won't eat people food anyway. Crappy image though, iPhone6 camera the worst.
Day 4 - The worlds greatest dome, not a bad oculus either - The Pantheon; Rome Italy
